Miami-dade: Swine Flu Hotline

The Miami-Dade School District has set up an information hotline for moms and dads looking for information about swine flu and school closings.

On Sunday, Miami-Dade officials closed Doral Academy Charter Middle School and Doral Academy Charter High School (Doral Academy Prep) for three days, through Wednesday.

People who want information about the closures, or the H1N1 swine flu virus,should call 305-995-3000. District staffers will answer the phones from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. A recorded message will play after hours. Be forewarned: Getting through can be tricky. A colleague and I have tried a total of six times with no luck.
